01.05.2026 – MEĐUREČJE – MRTVICA CANYON – PETROVAC NA MORU

ROUTE LENGTH: 16 km
ELEVATION GAIN: 300 m
DIFFICULTY: Moderate

In the early morning hours, we arrive in Međurečje, the starting point of our hike.
Right at the beginning, we encounter the stone Danilov Bridge, beneath whose arches the crystal-clear Mrtvica roars, announcing an endless adventure!

We continue the hike along the river, absorbing its beauty, admiring rapids and waterfalls, while the Gate of Wishes with its magical vegetation draws ever closer. Here we’ll enjoy scenery that feels otherworldly, and at a special spot, we’ll have the chance to throw a stone into the water and make a wish.

Just when we think the canyon has revealed all its magic, we reach the Mrtvica Cliffs, where the former Yugoslav Army carved a path through vertical rock walls in the 1970s to connect nearby villages. This unique section of the trail will surely stay etched in our memories.
After that, we emerge onto a hidden beach, tucked deep within the canyon. Here we plan to swim in this Montenegrin river gem, followed by a return along the same trail back to the starting point.

After the hike, we head to our accommodation for a well-deserved rest.


02.05.2026 – PETROVAC – HIKE WITH A VIEW OF SVETI STEFAN (OPTIONAL)

ROUTE LENGTH: 12 km
ELEVATION GAIN: 550 m
DIFFICULTY: Moderate

Breakfast. A short drive takes us to one of the hills above Petrovac, followed by a beautiful and gentle hike where we’ll enjoy the scent of sage, mint, lemon balm, and other aromatic herbs growing straight out of the stone.
Then comes a breathtaking view of Sveti Stefan, the surrounding landscapes, sea, and mountains—perfect for sitting down and soaking in the mild May sunshine.
We then descend to Praskvica Monastery, where the bus awaits us for the return to Petrovac.


03.05.2026 – PETROVAC – COASTAL HIKE: PERAZIĆA DO – BULJARICA – VIRPAZAR (LAKE SKADAR)

ROUTE LENGTH: 7 km
ELEVATION GAIN: 200 m
DIFFICULTY: Easy

Breakfast. In the morning, we pack our belongings into the bus and begin our gradual return journey.
First, we drive to Perazića Do, descend to its beautiful beach, and start our coastal hike. The first section is very easy and shaded by conifer trees, while almost the entire route offers views of the Adriatic’s blue waters and steep cliffs.

Halfway through, we pass through Petrovac, then continue over a hill and again through pine forests to a small bay called Lučica, where we’ll take a break on this perfectly sheltered beach.
Afterward, we cross another hill with several excellent viewpoints and reach Buljarica, where the bus takes us to the charming village of Virpazar, located on the shores of Lake Skadar.
Here we’ll have free time for lunch and relaxation by the lake.

SPECIAL NOTES

  • The agency strongly recommends that travelers purchase individual trip cancellation insurance. Otherwise, in case of cancellation by the traveler, point 10 of the General Terms and Conditions – CANCELLATION OF TRAVEL BY THE TRAVELER will apply.

  • The bus seating order is determined based on the date of payment, i.e., the signing of the travel contract. When assigning seats, priority is given to elderly passengers, pregnant women, families with children (under 12 years), and travelers with documented medical issues. The front row seats are reserved for official use and are not allocated to passengers unless necessary. Passengers must accept the seat assigned by the agency.

  • When signing the contract, travelers must provide all requested information to the travel organizer, including passport number used for border crossing. If this is not provided at the time of signing, the deadline for submission is within 48 hours.

  • For passengers holding a red biometric passport of the Republic of Serbia, the passport must be valid for at least 3 months after the return date when entering the EU, and 6 months after return when entering Turkey.

  • Travelers are responsible for ensuring the validity of their travel documents, especially for children.

  • The organizer is not authorized to verify the validity of documents. Non-Serbian citizens must independently check visa requirements for the countries they plan to visit. Travelers are advised to consult the EU Delegation in Serbia (www.europa.rs) or the embassy or consulate of the destination or transit country for information about entry requirements (e.g., sufficient funds, travel insurance, accommodation confirmation). The agency is not responsible if border authorities deny entry.

  • Travelers who pay extra for an additional seat on the bus are not entitled to a refund if empty seats remain on the bus after the trip.

  • 48 hours prior to departure, the travel organizer will send a departure notice with all details. If you do not receive this message, please contact the agency to confirm departure details.

  • Rest stops will be made every 3.5 to 4 hours of driving, depending on rest area availability and road conditions.

  • Travelers are asked to keep their travel documents, money, and personal belongings safe during the trip. Leaving valuables on the bus or in hotel rooms is not recommended as neither the transport company nor the hotel is responsible. In case of theft, only insured items can be claimed through the appropriate insurance provider. The tour organizer cannot be held liable.

  • This is a group trip, and travelers should keep in mind that music and movies played on the bus will be neutral in content. Bus temperature cannot be adjusted individually—what is warm for one might be cold for another. Therefore, understanding and group spirit are essential.

  • Luggage space on the bus is limited. Each passenger is allowed one suitcase and one piece of hand luggage.

  • Due to schedule constraints, the bus cannot stop at border crossings for tax-free refund processing, so please keep this in mind.

  • The organizer reserves the right to change the itinerary due to unforeseen circumstances (e.g., traffic congestion, border delays, closure of scheduled sites).

  • The organizer may also change the dates and conditions of optional excursions, as well as the order of sightseeing, due to objective circumstances. Please note that certain sites, malls, stores, restaurants, or museums might be closed on public or religious holidays.

  • The duration of free time for individual activities will depend on objective circumstances (length of tours, departure times, arrival times, and other planned activities).

  • Travelers planning to visit museums or galleries are advised to check working hours online and plan accordingly.

  • The hotel rating stated in the program reflects the official classification valid on the day the contract was signed with the foreign partner. Any subsequent changes unknown to the organizer will not be considered grounds for complaint.

  • Check-in at accommodation begins after 3:00 PM on the first day (early check-in may be possible), and check-out is by 9:00 AM on the last day.
    All hotels have a restaurant. Rooms may have shared bathrooms. Accommodation offered has been registered, inspected, and standardized by the national tourism authority of the host country.

  • If the exact name of the hotel is not published, the organizer is obligated to announce it no later than 7 days before departure. If a change in the listed hotel occurs, the organizer must inform all travelers in writing, and the replacement hotel must meet the same standards. If you do not accept the change, you may cancel the trip without penalty.

  • Descriptions of accommodations are for informational purposes only. The organizer is not responsible for service quality as this depends on the accommodation provider.
    Some services may be available at an additional cost, and availability may vary (e.g., safe, parking, minibar, TV, air conditioning, hair dryer, Wi-Fi…). We recommend checking for additional details online (e.g., www.tripadvisor.com, www.booking.com).

  • The organizer has no influence over room allocation, as this is the responsibility of the hotel reception.

  • Requests for connected rooms, family rooms, or other specific features (balcony, smoking room, floor level, French bed) will be considered, but group bus trips do not guarantee such options. The agency cannot promise these features.

  • Group accommodation is typically in quadruple or six-bed rooms. Extra beds are smaller and may reduce comfort for the third traveler (e.g., fold-out chairs or sofa beds with thin mattresses).

  • All times in the travel program are based on local time at the destination.

  • The trip contract signatory or group representative must inform all travelers of the travel program, payment terms, insurance, and the General Terms and Conditions of the travel organizer.

  • Minors must have a notarized travel consent from parents or guardians when traveling.

  • International travel health insurance is mandatory for some destinations. We strongly advise travelers to obtain insurance for all international trips. Without it, travelers bear full responsibility during border checks in the destination or transit countries.

  • The agency is not responsible for any verbal, phone, or electronic information provided. The only valid itinerary is the written program displayed at the agency.
